   Your best bet is to ring conpanies that offer such services:
   GMC Motorsport
   Illusion Motorsport
   Jamsport
   
   Off the top of my head i think they do the turbo conversion, oh possible CItuning?
   
   Also PM Simo, im sure he is full of knowledge too on then subject

   I think its better performance wise to Supercharge a VTS over turbo it isnt it? and supercharger conversions are cheaper, more reliable and you dont have to let the supercharger warm up before driving and cool down after...
